The IRI being minted is under the control of the JSON-LD spec - it gets
to define its meaning.

I suggest in the default graph. But Manu suggests that being under
control of JSON-LD is enough.

Either know the provenance of the data or look at the URI pattern and
know it's JSON-LD generated.

Markus was asking about a round-trip between syntaxes of a dataset, not
the more general changing the dataset en route.
